(NASDAQ-AAON) today announced its operating results for the year 2004. Sales increased 16% to $173.3 million from $148.9 million in 2003, whereas net income decreased 47% to $7.5 million compared to $14.2 million in the previous year. Sales in the fourth quarter of 2004 increased to $45.0 million from $37.8 million in 2003, and net income for the quarter declined to $2.1 million compared to $3.7 million in 2003. Earnings per share for 2004 were $0.58 compared to $1.07 in 2003. Earnings for the fourth quarter of 2004 were $0.16 per share compared to $0.29 per share in the previous year. Per share earnings are on a diluted basis. Norman H. Asbjornson, AAON's President/CEO, stated that, "The decrease in 2004 earnings was caused by a number of factors, including startup costs involved with a new coil project in the first and second quarters, closings of the Company's Tulsa plant for four days during the second quarter due to computer and electrical outages, as well as second quarter equipment failures at the Company's Longview, Texas plant, which reduced coil production needed by the Tulsa facility, and a 2004 loss of approximately $900,000 generated by AAON Canada Inc., all of which should be non-recurring, but further, and most importantly, unprecedented increases in material costs greatly in excess of product price increases." Mr. Asbjornson continued by saying, "While we project even greater sales in 2005, we cannot predict the level of expected earnings due to a number of factors, including the prospect of continued high material costs."
